Funday flashback: Denise the Surprised Alpaca

One of our readers getting in on the Denise-sprit de corps was Jeni Zapor, who donned the Denise mask while shouting "The bus ACTUALLY came!"

Denise even got a job at the local Publix! Needless to say, she was STUNNED.

Denise was AMAZED she had so many fans in Ms. Lutz's PATH class at Bluffton Middle School.

DENISE THE SURPRISED ALPACA

When we first saw Denise’s shocked and dismayed face, we knew we’d found the perfect mascot for Funday Monday. Since then, Denise has interviewed celebrities (her interview with Lamb Chop might go down as the most surreal moment in newspaper history) and even appeared in her own motion picture (sort of).

But nothing could compare to the honor she felt in seeing Funday Monday readers slap on their Denise the Surprised Alpaca masks and show what amazed and astounded them. We thank these alpacker backers for their contributions.
